INFUSION SET
INSERTION
Hints and Tips
• Wash your hands carefully before you insert your infusion set.
• Avoid using lotions or moisturisers where you intend to apply tape as the
tape may not stick well if these are on your skin
• You can use a prep or additional adhesive underneath or around your
infusion set site for extra protection if necessary
• After inserting your set go back around the edge with your finger to seal the
edges of the sticky tape to your skin
• Rotate infusion set sites to keep your tissue healthy
• If you find that the set is not adhering to your skin adequately you can use a
solid or spray non-deodorant antiperspirant applied to the site 10-15
minutes prior to insertion. The site then needs to be cleaned to remove any
excess antiperspirant from skin and allow it to dry before insertion.
Step by Step
1. To remove MiniMed
TM
Mio™ from its packaging, pull the red
tab and take off the protective plastic wrapping. Pull down on
the white tab and remove the sterile paper.
2. Place your thumb and fore finger on the three raised marks
that are located on each side of the device. Firmly squeeze and
pull upwards using the lip on the lid.
3. Unhook the tubing from the groove and gently unwind the
tubing by pulling it upwards in a counterclockwise direction.
Be careful not to pull too hard when the tubing is fully unwound
as this could accidentally dislodge the infusion set from its
casing.
4. Connect the infusion set to a newly filled reservoir and
following the pump instructions place the reservoir into the
pump
5. Once the reservoir is in the pump, fill the empty tubing with
insulin until insulin is seen dripping from the end of the needle.
